Dirty Ol' Man |
He’s a dirty old man, And a dirty old man, He’s a dirty old man and a friend of |
mine |
I’m a dirty old man The mean streets are home, My life is cold, I’ll chill you |
to the bone |
Heart of stone, Have a care, I carry traces of death in my hair |
You know my breath stinks, I leave shit everywhere |
So be aware I’m unfeeling Don’t you dare try appealing to my better nature |
You better wait, you’re missinformed, Ain’t nothing warm about me |
Cold and gray, concrete clay and steel, And what else is real? |
I mean the |
actual deal |
People seem to love living under my hair, Some of them call me London |
I’m also known as New York. |
Anywhere in the world you find me I talk the same |
bad talk |
Walk the same walk from side to side, You’re transparent to me |
There ain’t a thing you can hide, Derive glamour from the stamina it takes to |
survive |
You think I didn’t know it’s over with your face like a rat |
Now give me your cash and go Before you’re heart brakes |
You’re living under my wing And all you got I’m gonna take, I’m a dirty old man |
He’s a dirty old man and a dirty old man |
He’s a dirty old man and a friend of mine |
He’s a dirty old man and a dirty old man |
He’s a dirty old man and a friend of mine |
I’m a rough old man beyond heart ache, To improve my mood I could use an |
earthquake |
I sit awake for my people to release the pain, So I can know peace again In my |
skin |
Sin deceit and mistrust soaked in, I think I might just fuss Often drops of woe |
Streets flow with tears, I fall down all around your ears |
If I could, if I was made of wood start a fire, no lie |
I can afford to smoke sacred fire, 'cause I wouldn’t bet on people changing |
just yet |
My eyes are wet and my heart is full of fear and regret |
So you’re catching |
